Meghan Markle's Official Royal Title Has Been Revealed

After much speculation, the Queen has officially revealed the title she's giving to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

In an official decree, Her Majesty conferred the Dukedom of Sussex on the newlyweds.

The statement read, "The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales.

"His titles will be Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. Prince Henry thus becomes His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex and Ms Meghan Markle on marriage will become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex."

After the wedding, Meghan automatically assumes the feminine version of all her new husband's titles, meaning she will be referred to as 'Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton and Baroness of Kilkeel.

Of course, the bestowing of titles brings up another very interesting question, will the duchess be "Meghan" or "Rachel"?

As revealed when they announced their engagement, Meghan's real name is actually 'Rachel Meghan Markle'. At this time, it's not known whether she will go as "Her Royal Highness, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex", or "Her Royal Highness, Rachel, Duchess of Sussex."

Confusingly, she has been referred to as both Meghan and Rachel Meghan by formal documents.

Her last name will be the same as all descendants of Queen Elizabeth II: Mountbatten-Windsor.

That means Meghan's new full name is Her Royal Highness, Rachel Meghan Mountbatten-Windsor, The Duchess of Sussex.
